Kerala Government mulls reducing minimum area limit for private industrial parks

Though the government approved the establishment of private industrial parks on the lines of those operating under government agencies, the proposal has remained on paper because of a lack of clarity on the present limit on the maximum extent of land that can be acquired by a private entity

The Kerala government is considering a suggestion from industrialists to reduce the minimum limit for establishing private industrial parks taking into account the problem of land scarcity, especially in the Corporation and municipal areas.

Zoning regulations governing establishment of residential, commercial and industrial enclaves too put a limit on acquiring land in urban areas.
